Lessons for Violin/Viola for Beginners to Advanced (for Children and Adults) in Zurich

Hello, my name is Izabel and I play the viola professionally and work in Zurich Opernhaus as well as other orchestras.
I also have more than 10 years of experience teaching the violin, the viola and music theory.
I can speak fluent English, Bulgarian and French. I can also understand German, but cannot fluently communicate.
I would be happy to work with you or your child at your home, or in my studio, as well as give an online course. My weeks are often quite flexible and I am happy to accommodate to your schedule whenever it is possible.

It is an important step in one's development to seek the right guidance and to have a teacher who helps them develop and grow. I was lucky to have been taught by incredible teachers, but I also needed to create a specialised way of practicing for myself, which I soon realised could help many others get through the difficulties of learning the stringed instrument.

If you are interested in my course, please reach out and be sure that you will not regret it.

All the best,

Izabel

About Me

I have been performing and studying music since I was three years old. I have experience with playing the piano, the violin, singing and playing the viola. My teaching experience begun 10 years ago in Bulgaria and progressed quite rapidly once I moved to Switzerland. When I lived in Lausanne I had 8-10 regular students, some of which were at the age of over 40 years old. I was then recruited to teach in the Swiss Music School "Gimme Music", however I decided to move to Zurich and to work in the orchestra Zurich Opernhaus.

I am an extremely patient and orderly person. I make things simple and easy to remember. I believe that anything can be possible to achieve if you manage to break it down and understand it to its deepest level and that is what I strive for with my students.

I always make the course individually constructed for the student. I listen attentively to what exactly are their goals and reasons for pursuing this path and I act accordingly. I will never judge or be malicious if the progress hasn't lived up to my hopes, everyone's journey and everyone's rhythm of development is completely different and never too late.

I myself have had to navigate these instruments sometimes completely by myself and that has led me to creating special tips and tricks which have then helped my students immensely.

Lessons on the instruments viola, violin and piano
Would you like to learn viola, violin or piano? I am happy to support you with creativity and patience in the learning process. The most important thing for me is that the focus is on enjoying making music and developing at your own pace. In the summer of 2022, I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Classical Music at the Musik-Akademie Basel, am currently doing an internship at a special education school in Winterthur and play the viola in orchestra projects, a chamber music duo and the violin in a band. I look forward to welcoming you to my classes soon!

Flute and piccolo lessons or music theory lessons!
Graduated with highest marks cum laude for the Bachelor degree in flute at the Conservatory of Florence (Italy) and with the same points at the Conservatory of Milano for the piccolo Master, I am now attending a Master degree in flute performance at the Zurich University of the Arts. Music and especially flute and piccolo are my real passion. My lessons will be always different, based on the student. My main goal is to make music affordable to everyone, that's why I love to have students of any age. I'd love to have the opportunity to spread my passion: music should be first of all fun and a real joy!

Mercedes
violin & viola individual lessons, chamber music lessons
I offer violin and viola lessons for students of all levels and ages. Beginners are welcome! I have developed my own teaching approach, based on years of practice with my Master teachers and my own research. I focus on supporting and developing student’s individuality. I am open to meet specific expectations and needs. I play the violin with my students to demonstrate and to inspire them. I also willingly perform together with pupils as well as accompany them during family performances. This makes playing even more enjoyable! I offer group and chamber music lessons. That's the best way to learn how to communicate with others through the sounds of instruments. Students learn how to use music as a way to connect, follow the leader or to train mindful awareness. Playing together supports motivation to practice and improve skills. I teach to improvise. I treat the instrument as a voice to be used freely. I use improvisation as a language, wordless channel to create dialogue or express emotions. It builds student’s ability to play with trust. It allows making music to become more personal.

Gabriela

music theory is not always boring, it can be easy and fun too!
Music theory is not as complicated as everyone thinks. It can be easy too. Not only that, it doesnt have to be dreadful and boring because it can super fun by implementing games! - Having music theory as your basic foundation will help you a lot when wanting to start a new instrument

Denise
Singing classes in Vienna for all age students and musical styles (Online/Offline)
Dear students: My name is Denise and I'm a professional singer with a singing master's degree from Catalonia's Music College (ESMUC) specialized in Historical Singing, Musicology and Music Education. My experience runs mostly in early and classical music with an active performing life, nevertheless I also have the experience and knowledge of popular musical styles such as Latin-American folk, jazz and musicals. As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs. I have years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults in both Latin-America and Europe, therefore understanding different appreciation levels and needs. My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music. **Class suggestions and indications** No experience is needed just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music. Classes can be given either in English, Spanish, French or Deutsch. There are no limit for styles, bring your favorite music and I will provide a safe environment for your personal and musical growth. For Children I strongly recommend the 45 min class since their attention span and body development is different from an adult. Feel free to contact me in case of further questions. I would love to work together to achieve your musical goals. All my best, Denise

Richard
Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)
